Eclipse plugin not working with Eclipse Themes plugin.

[toniocus]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Eclipse-Themes (I like dark background themes), to see how
everything works, and I'm facing a problem with Oxygen Editors, default
colors does not really work ok with dark background themes.

Of course I can override every color on each workspace, but that's really a non sense
activity, I have a lot of workspaces around.

Was wondering if there is a way to make these 2 plugins work together, I know they have
a kind of configuration to work with other editors.

Has anybody tried this or find a good solution, any help will be greatly welcome.
Not sure if this is an oxygen thing, but is a good place to start.

Thanks in advance
tonio

I would be interested in being able to set a color scheme without having to manually tweak every single color!

Hi,

We have a feature request logged on our issue tracking tool to provide schemes/profiles for the editor syntax highlight colors. I've added your votes and your comments.


Meanwhile, I'm afraid that the syntax highlight colors can only be changed one at a time in Window > Preferences, oXygen > Editor > Syntax Highlight.

If you want to migrate these to another workspace, go to the Oxygen option page: Window > Preferences, oXygen and use the Export Global Options button to save the options (including syntax highlight colors) to a file. You can then import them in the same place (Import Global Options) after switching to the new workspace.

If you have way too many workspaces for this to be practical, you could use the exported options as customized default options for Oxygen as described here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editorE ... tions.html
with the mention that if you go the 'config.ini' route, you should use 'file\:' at the beginning of the property value:

Code: Select all

com.oxygenxml.default.options=file\:@config.dir/../default-options.xml

+1 from me too. Any updates on this issue? (Sorry if updates have been posted in your issue tracker - I couldn't find any links to a public issue tracker.)

Thanks!

Hi,

No updates on the Eclipse side of things yet. Since this was requested, support for custom color themes has been implemented in the standalone edition of Oxygen.

I've added another vote for the Eclipse feature request.

Hi,
As an update, Oxygen 26.1 should have some incipient support for dark theme:
